i bought a new IBM computer running xp and have been
having problems with my messenger contacts. even after
clean re-installs, upgrading before initial sign in, and
apgrading to 5.0, some of my contacts do not appear,
contacts that have been blocked reappear with other
contacts information, and sometimes everything appears
properly only to return to the screwed up state after
signing out and signing in again. usually the contacts
appear fine after the first sign in following an
installation or upgrade but by the second sign in they
are screwed up again. is it possible that my messenger
account is screwed up at the source? i have done factory
re-installs just to see, but messenger still is behaving
badly.
 
after deleting windows messenger and trying to re-install
i received an error which forced the re-install to
rollback. i have since downloaded msn messenger and it
seems to be managing my contacts fine. however i would
prefer to use windows messenger and no thave two versions
running on my computer. all my contacts were created
prior to using msn messenger on public comuters in cyber
cafes in africa so i don't understand why msn messenger
manages my contacts and windows messenger screws them up.
